The “American Idol” executive who was gunned down alongside her husband in their multi-million dollar Los Angeles home had recently sought private security because they “felt threatened by somebody.”
Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70, were allegedly killed following a suspected burglary at their home in Encino late last week, cops said.
Suspect Raymond Boodarian, 22, was arrested Tuesday — a day after police uncovered their bodies during a welfare check.
In the weeks before the bloodshed, Kaye had apparently reached out to a private security firm amid fears for her safety, NBC Los Angeles reported.
“She felt threatened by somebody because of somebody around their home or around their neighborhood who felt suspicious,” said Kris Herzog, owner of the company they hired, the Bodyguard Group of Beverly Hills.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the couple’s home had previously been targeted.
Police believe Boodarian had allegedly been burglarizing Kaye’s home while the couple were away July 10.
The suspect was likely in the home for a staggering 30 minutes before the couple returned home and busted him, detectives allege.
Police had responded that same afternoon to reports of a burglary at the Encino home, but said there were “no signs of forced entry or trouble.”
“We didn’t hear anything,” neighbor Amee Faggen said.
“My renter saw somebody hopping the fence, but that was back on Thursday. She called 911, but we didn’t hear anything since then, so we have no idea if it’s even related or not.”
The couple’s bodies weren’t discovered until Monday after cops were called to carry out a welfare check.
